Listening Ears/All The Times You've Been Mistreated

 

Listening Ears

This is another song I got from a dream: It's about how when people have bad stuff happen to them (in this case, being mistreated), they often want to have someone listen to them tell their tales of woe. Does it help to make the pain go away? Or does it just feel good in the moment, with no long-term benefit? It's probably a case-by-case basis, is my thinking.

The lyrics are:

Tell me all the times you've been mistreated

If you tell me about all the things you have experienced in your life
Listening ears
It will probably not make a big difference, but you'll know that all of your strife is
On Listening Ears

Tell me all the times you've been mistreated

If you tell me about all the fucked up things that happened to you that day
Listening ears
It might make you feel better but you should know it won't take the pain away
Listening ears

Tell me all the times you've been mistreated

But I might be all wrong about that and talking to me will make you glad

Listening ears
And, regardless, I'll listen to you because that is the right thing to do
Listening ears

Tell me all the times you've been mistreated

Here's the alternative player thingy, in case you prefer to use it, instead of the one at the top:
